Free music Tuesday has nothing on this 34-song TuneCore promotion

A TuneCore promotion gives you 34 songs free through the iTunes Store. And …

Free music of the legal variety is never really a bad thing. Even if it's awful, it's still easy enough to delete it from your library forever. While iTunes has Free Tuesday, sometimes those few tracks aren't enough to quench your new music thirst. This week, however, we have your back. The prolific Ms. Sadun over at TUAW has pointed us to a TuneCore promotoion that gives any US iTunes Store user 34 free tracks.

The process is fairly simple: go to the TuneCore page, click on the CLICK HERE FOR CODE! button, and copy the 12-digit alpha-numeric code to your clipboard. Then, open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store, click on Redeem under Quick Links, paste your unique code into the field, and your music should begin to download! There is no step six!

Now we can't vouch for the music—it might be terrible. We haven't had the chance to listen to all the tracks yet, but there are some fairly well-known artists among the near three-dozen, including Public Enemy, Steve Vai, and the Dandy Warhols. Not to mention "Let me borrow that top" by Kelly, which according to someone close to this writer, is "so terrible it's awesome."

For those curious, TuneCore is a service that uses its size to leverage artists onto the iTunes Store who would otherwise be unable to get their music or videos onto the service. TuneCore is somewhat unique in that it doesn't take per-purchase royalties from the artist, but instead charges flat rates for for content and maintenence.
